A River Mist Walk is a wonderful single-bedroom cabin and the second in the collection of amazing River Mist homes.   This luxury cabin is strategically positioned near the highest elevation of their property and offers mountain views beyond a beautiful pond and stream that flow into the river.  The Watauga River rapids can be heard from this property as well, and access to this beautiful river is just a short walk away. Enter the main level of this spacious luxury cabin from the parking area up just 5 steps across the wraparound covered and open decks through one of four convenient doors.  The front door opens into the spacious great Room which features a 26-foot high cathedral ceiling and oak flooring which is also throughout the home.   On the north side is the living area with a beautiful stacked-stone gas-log fireplace, leather sofas and recliner, 60-inch Satellite HDTV with sound bar and DVD player, and a beautiful exotic hand-woven rug. On the south side of the Great room is the dining area with comfortable seating for 4 and mountain views through the windows.  Adjacent to the dining area is the fully-equipped kitchen featuring a large island topped with Delicatus Gold Granite with seating for three, stainless steel appliances, soft-closing cabinets and drawers, Noritake Stoneware, a KitchenAid mixer, and high quality silverware, knives, and cookware.   Down the hall toward the east side of the main level is a closet, a half bathroom, a large utility room equipped with LG front loading washer and dryer, a utility sink, a second refrigerator/freezer for ice, and additional counter and cabinet space, and the entrance to the spacious master suite.  This suite features a king bed with 600-thread-count sheets, a large walk-in, cedar-lined closet, a sitting area, satellite HDTV, and an enormous bathroom featuring an open shower with rain head and separate hand wand, a soaking claw-foot style tub, unlimited on-demand hot water, double vanities made from reclaimed antique barn wood, and a bidet all over a penny-tiled heated floor. Upstairs is the large game-room featuring a Kincaid pool table, a full-sized leather sleeper sofa, a 60-inch satellite HDTV with sound bar, and a spacious bathroom also equipped with a penny-tiled heated floor, an open shower with rain head and hand-held shower wand, double vanities made from reclaimed antique wood, and a bidet.  Outside is a large wraparound partially covered deck equipped with rocking chairs, a gas grill, and a dining table with seating for four from which you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature including the not-too-distant sounds of the rushing river and the views of the pond, mountains and sunsets.    Attached to the deck is a platform containing the sunken hot tub and in the yard is a custom stone firepit.        Stroll down the quiet, private street just a few hundred feet to the rushing Watauga River and enjoy a park created just for guests at this cabin. With a picnic table, chairs, & park-style BBQ pit, you'll find yourself relaxing for hours here by the waters.  Located just 25 minutes from beautiful downtown Boone, 35 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock, Tweetsie Railroad, Appalachian Ski Mountain, Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zipline, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, and Grandfather Mountain, and 55 minutes to Beech Mountain Ski Resort, A River Mist Walk is a wonderful place in which to begin and end each memorable day while vacationing in the mountains.  The cabin is also only 20 minutes from beautiful Watauga Lake that has gorgeous parks, pontoon rentals and fishing.
